Formation of allyl-substituted allene episulfide S-oxides and their thermal and acid-catalyzed rearrangements†
Dedicated with admiration to Prof. A. Fava on the occasion of his seventieth birthday.
Abstract
Oxidation of allyl-substituted allene episulfides with a peracid gave the corresponding allene episulfide S-oxides which were found to undergo ready isomerization to bicyclo[2.1.1]thiahexane S-oxide derivatives on thermolysis or under acid-catalyzed reaction conditions.
